1953 Map of Spanish Mine

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Ferris Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, rising sharply above the complex drainage systems of the Arkansas Basin. This area of Carbon County is defined by its water resources and mineral prospects, featuring the Spanish Mine and the seasonal flows of Rush Creek and Arkansas Creek. The high-altitude terrain is marked by a network of ditches and springs, including the specifically named Jimmys Place, which suggests a localized human footprint in an otherwise vast expanse of rangeland. The map detail highlights the geographic transition from the flatlands of Arkansas Flats to the steep relief of Pole Canyon and Miners Canyon, providing a clear record of the territory as it appeared during the development of the Missouri River Basin project.
